- How to carry out a choice of a tile, depending on area of its application? For example, what tile to choose for a bathroom, for the sitting room?
There are tiles for the most different purposes and the most different premises. Tiles should possess necessary characteristics and properties to resist to various mechanical, chemical, thermal and other influences to which covered surfaces can undergo. All tiles can be divided into some groups, and the division into groups occurs in view of a place of application of a tile. We shall consider the basic types of tiles applied to a private apartment:
- A tile for through passage premises, such as a vestibule, a hall, a lobby: a tile of high wear resistance or a ceramic granite (the universal material, can be used for any premises);
- A tile for walls and a floor of a bathroom: glazed tile of double or unary roasting and of the average wear resistance;
- A tile for a floor and kitchen walls: a tile, which is proof to influence of chemical abrasives (acids and alkalis) and steady against mechanical influence.
- How to look after a tile in a bathroom?
The surface or what we see, looking at it, consists of tiles and seams. At care of a tile it is possible to use practically any washing-up liquids, except for means for an acid basis, such what are applied, for example, for cleaning toilet bowls: even if they do not put harm to tiles, they can damage the seams which have been closed up by materials on the basis of cement (as it usually happens). At cleaning it is better to avoid abrasive means, such as metal scrapers, brushes; they can scratch a surface of a tile. Caring of a ceramic tile in a bathroom will not be difficult, if once a month you will carry out cleaning and then, probably polishing of a tile - it will constantly remain representative and will serve to you for a long time.
- What is the ceramic granite and how does it differ from the usual granite?
This building novelty has been invented in Italy, and was named “gres porcellanato”. “Gres” means the “stone-pottery”, and “porcellanato” means “porcelain”. The name reflects an essence of a material: it is made, as porcelain, but it does not concede to a natural stone, and it surpasses natural stone in many aspects.
This material is very firm. It is not practically erased in due course and can not be spoilt by the salt or sand (by means of which the ice is covered and which can be brought to the house with footwear) in the winter.
In general ceramic granite looks like a stone - a granite or limestone. But you can find specks on its surface, however it is painted more exactly, than natural one - ceramic granite has no large cracks and greater impregnations of other color too.
